Intro(Capo at IV): A, E, B, E x4
A       E        B   E
[tab]       A       B         E
As she dances 'round the pool 

A          E            B      E
She chases cats through roman ruins 

    A        B           E
And stomps on big toadstools 

A            E        B       E
She speaks a language all her own 

     A    E      B  E
That I cannot discover 

A       E       B        E
But she knows I love her so 

       A         E         B   E
When I tuck her 'neath the covers 
CHORUS
A   E    B    E
Father, daughter 

A    E      B  E
Down by the water 

A      E     B      E
Shells sink, dreams float 

A      E       B   E
Life's good on our boat 
Verse 2 (same as 1) Delaney draws me pictures She finger paints the sand We chase the dogs and hop like frogs Then I do my bad handstand She's growing up too fast for me And asking lots of questions Some I know the answers to And some I'm looking for suggestions CHORUS 2 (same as 1) Father, daughter Born by the water Surf's up, sun's down Life in a beach town BRIDGE
C#m             G#m  
And some of the things I've seen 

      Bm                 A
Maybe she won't have to see 

C#m                         G#m
But there's a lot I want to pass along 

         D              A
That was handed down to me 
Verse 3 (same) Delaney talks to statues As she dances 'round the pool She chases cats through Roman ruins And stomps on big toadstools She speaks a language all her own Just a little like her mother And she knows I love her so When I tuck her 'neath the covers Chorus 3 (same) Father, daughter Down by the water Shells sink, dreams float Life's good on our boat
